Grand Mercure Awaji Island Resort & Spa

My non-smoking room smelled of smoke. Fortunately the staff were exceptional, and I soon received another room. One staff told me that because the room was "Japanese Style", and that I had to take the bedding from the closet, move the low table and make up my own futon. I live in Japan and I know what a "Japanese Style" room is. Ryokans of a good grade will have staff make up the futons. When a hotel is too large, the work of making up the futons for all rooms becomes onerous, however, one wonders why "five star hotel" if one has to make up one's own futon AND receive education on what a "Japanese Style" room entails [ I am in the hotel business]. The lobby is bleak and looks cheap. No style, no charm. The seating is ugly and cheap. There are real plants here and there but no cut flowers. Cut flowers are very expensive in Japan. Too expensive for this hotel. The final point is that I booked this specific hotel in order to take a swim. Although the weather was fine, the pool had closed the day before I arrived. The pool was still full of water, perfect and peaceful, but "closed". No doubt, this saves on staff and other expenses, in the same way that making up one's own futon does . . . all this is fine for a hostel, but not for a luxury hotel. I have been generous with my star-giving because I like to be kind, and because several of the staff were truly exceptional in their kindness and service, however, we hope that the management will note our comments. Please pay for more staff and please keep your pool open as long as the weather permits. Global warming means pools can stay open longer. :-)

Good hotel with helpful staff!

酒店性價比高，一泊兩食早餐晚餐款式多味道好，而且有免費酒水供應，家庭出行非常之唔錯的選擇，房間較大,

雖然有復修、但係酒店設施、裝修、格局全部都係很舊式了、我地晚上10:45才check in,免費小食飲品區仍然活躍中、好多日本人遊客也穿上浴衣在開心飲食、雖然酒店比較舊、但係家人覺得睡覺很舒服、枕頭也十分舒適

酒店很大方，下午3:00-6:00有下午小食及酒精飲料，晚上21:00-23:00 除咗有下午小食及威士忌提供。

房間真的太差了，和國內的招待所差不多，甚至更差，關鍵是這樣的房間居然賣2000元人民幣，讓人無法忍受，最後在我們不斷的爭取下兩晚退了我們一晚，當然我們衹住了一晚。外部環境還是可以的！但是這種設施條件大家避免踩坑！！！
